Welcome to my PhotoBlog

"The ultimate wisdom of the photographic image is to say:  "There is the surface.  Now think-or rather feel, intuit- what is beyond it, what the reality must be like if it looks this way."  Photographs which cannot themselves explain anything, are inexhaustible invitations to deduction, speculation and fantasy."
Susan Sontag in On Photography

Scarves
Another from the iPhone 4s.  The more I play with this camera, the more I like it.  It ain't no DSLR for sure.  Distortion, softness and noise are among the most obvious shortcomings BUT the good news is there seems to be enough information in the files to allow them to be manipulated in Photoshop and come out the other end looking half decent.  Perhaps the most beneficial advantage though is that now that I have a pocket camera I am enjoying photography again.

These scarves were displayed in the doorway of a shop in a nearby mall.  I think that the next time I am there I will go in and ask if it's okay to take some pics as the store is full of interesting items.
